Chapter 13: Human nature
Life will always find a way.
This was a famous sentence that a scientist said regarding the apocalypse.
When the mutations just began, mutated bed bugs and mutated willow trees appeared to prove that statement. As for the owners of the earth, humans naturally wouldn’t fall behind.
Although it had just been a few hours, but from the cutting off of wifi, phones, television, and broadcasts, many people realised that the end of the world was here. They started to adapt to this intense change.
However, that process was the testing stone of human nature. Some would be really kind while some would be selfish and cruel.
Such things were occurring on the second floor of the canteen.
The first floor staircase was covered by tables and close to 100 of them were stuck at the stairs between the first and second floors. Those table edges stuck into their bodies and the only thing they cared about was the fresh flesh and blood above.
“Brother Five will it be okay? Will the police appear tomorrow?”
A young teen in jeans squatted down beside a guy he called Brother Five and he was really nervous. He would occasionally glance back at the corner of the canteen.
There were some tables and chairs there. At the center of those tables and chairs was a white skinned girl who was looking at the roof, like everything had nothing to do with her. That tender body was bruised and there was some blood on her legs. A few stains from guys were stuck to her little stomach.
All this showed that this flower-like girl was tortured and treated badly by them.
Brother Five stared and that made the scar on his forehead look more vicious. He kicked and that caused the guy in jeans to stumble.
“Damn, when you were having so much fun you didn’t think about the police, after you finished then you think about them!”
The teen stood up and when he saw the other three guys laughing at him, he felt slightly awkward.
Brother Five stood up and showed his muscular body. His back was bare and there was a black western dragon tattooed on it. Each time he moved his muscles, that dragon would seem like it was about to come alive and lfy away.
He walked to the teen and pulled his collar, dragging him in front of the stairs. He pointed at those increasingly active zombies and said, “Er Peng do you see that people all turned into that, many people turned into that. So will there be police? Did you see Resident Evil? This is the same as the movie! This is the biggest! What police, damn those police!”
Brother Five showed his fists and released Er Peng. He touched his itchy lower boy and looked to his four men, “What do you think is on their foreheads?”
The few men walked over and pointed at the zombies. They had no idea so it made Brother Five a little annoyed.
They were scum that was active nearby. Today they were here to eat barbeque but bumped into the start of the apocalypse. They saw people turn into zombies and try to eat others. In a panic, they escaped into the school and followed many students into the canteen.
Only the first floor was open so there wasn’t anyone on the second floor. They came up and used tables and chairs to block the stairs to stop them.
But Brother Five and his four men weren’t any good. Law and violence organisations restricted them in peacetime but everything was in chaos now. Even human eating monsters had appeared which made the evil in their hearts pop out.
After waiting for several hours on the second floor, they realised that there was no one coming to save them at all. There were no police at all. Moreover, from the internet, they found out that this was worldwide and all governments were paralysed.
They grabbed those students who came to the second floor to escape. After beating up many of the guys, they selected a beautiful girl to rape and they did so in front of dozens of people.
But half of those students were girls, the remaining 5-6 guys were beaten unconscious and the rest didn’t dare to say a word. Some would even just stay at a corner and shiver like that girl.
“After you get infected you will turn into that, then…” Brother Five was someone active in the underworld. Apart from his strong body that gave him the reputation as a good fighter, he was someone that knew how to think. He knew that the bright crystal on the forehead was a problem but he didn’t have the courage to kill one to dig it out.
But bad people would always have a way to reach their goals. Brother Five looked towards those students and had an idea.
He walked into the crowd and looked at those terrified students. He looked at a girl. Although this girl wasn’t as pretty as the one they raped but she was really clean and looked like a beauty. More importantly, her body was good, she was the biggest out of the few girls here.
“Nice timing, Ah Kun, drag her out.”
When his two lackeys heard that, they ignored the screams and shouts and grabbed her out. They even slapped her twice because she struggled.
“Let those zombies scratch her and then tie her up until she mutates. I want to see what that crystal is.”
The moment she heard it, her face turned ashen white. Those monsters were as terrifying to her as these animals. She wanted to cry out but thinking back to how it was of no use but to attract more zombies, her heart slowly felt cold.
“Hehe, are you afraid? Do you want to die?” Brother Five came to the girl and pinched her chin. His mouth was filled with the smell of cigarettes and he said, “There are many people here so it might not have to be you. But if you don’t want it to be you then you have to make me comfortable.”
He took off his pants to reveal that dirty thing and he shouted fiercely, “If you don’t want to die then eat it and if I feel good, I won’t let you go!”
The other men were stunned and then they laughed. Praising Brother Five for his actions.
That girl was stunned for a moment before realising what that animal was making her do. She cried before turning towards her few schoolmates, hoping that they could help her. But what she saw was silence. As for the guy that always chased and looked out for her, he lowered his head and acted like he didn’t know.
She swore that if that guy helped her, even if he just said a sentence to scold those animals, she would be willing to be with him.
But all this turned into despair in the silence.
She knew that she might lose many precious things today and also knew and recognised many things and people. She looked at those people who had just raped her classmate, struggle and humiliation flashed across her eyes. What replaced it was determination!
Since everything was collapsed then just die together then!
She shouted crazily in her heart before she moved close to that thing. She could already sense how good it would feel when that thing breaks and spurts out blood in her mouth!
That actually made her feel happy.
At that moment, gunshots sounded out and that caused the animals to stand up. That saved her. The person called Er Peng even sat on the ground in panic, he was shouting that the police were here.
Brother Five’s body also shook. He was strong but he was respectful towards such organisations. Actually, Er Peng and him were the same, they were afraid that the police would come.
But after a moment of silence, he calmed down and walked to the window. He saw a guy with an axe that was on a weird willow tree and he dug out a crystal that was similar to the one in the center of the heads of the zombies!
Brother Five’s heart jumped and he realised two things. Firstly, it wasn’t the police but a survivor like them. Secondly, this guy knew what the crystal’s use was.
When he saw the guy and girl leave, Brother Five shouted at his men.
“Quick quick quick, pack up and leave!”
Er Peng, Ah Kun and the others were stunned and asked their brother. We are trapped, how to leave?
Brother Five was annoyed, “You stupid, look there!”
The four of them followed where Brother Five was pointing at. Most of the zombies that were blocking had turned around to leave as they were attracted by the gunshot. There were only over ten of them left here and most of them were stuck into the tables.
But even these few made it hard for one to proceed forwards. No one wanted to take the risk. After all, they personally saw the people the zombies scratched turn into monsters within half an hour.
“Saying you all are stupid is really correct. Aren’t there students here? Just toss them to the zombies to eat and then we can run!”
Their eyes lit up and they wanted to grab the students who started to run about when they heard that Brother Five wanted to feed them to the zombies.
In front of these few jerks who were used to fighting, the students couldn’t fight back at all. Very quickly four were caught and dragged toward the stairs.
Brother Five looked on coldly but he still stood beside the window. He looked in the direction where Ye Zhongming and the long haired girl ran and was slightly confused.
That direction was where that light landed at…
